Go Bus advice
so I would like to go to Toronto on the weekend and found that the 407 West will indeed take me there. to York. when I asked compass they said I would take the 407 east to get back...but the 407 east schedule does not appear to have Mcmaster as a destination...I am confused.

what bus goes from york to McMaster?

I am a complete and utter Go newb so any help would be appreciated...

Do you actually want to go to York or the York area? You can catch the QEW express bus on Dundern @ King and go straight to Union Station in under an hour.

If you do go to York, then yes, the 407 West will go to McMaster... you're probably just looking in the wrong spot or something.

the 407 west bus is just the name of the bus route. they run in both the east and west directions. So you take the 407 West bus both ways. go here for the schedules.

good luck!

I can assume they meant that you would go east on the 407 West. But garbled their explanation.

I believe that's the price to Union Station. But it might be the same to somewhere else as well.
